These are old pictures from the F.W. Cornelius, Sr. and Edward J. Kostal families. These two gentlemen were my paternal and maternal grandfathers and I want to share these old photos with members of my family located around the country...and with my extended family in Austria and the Czech Republic.

Family portrait

Here's a family portrait of my dad's family showing my grandparents and all seven siblings. The picture was taken April 1947 at the family farm in Madrid. Standing left to right are my grandparents, my Uncle Wendell, my father, my Uncle Lowell (Lowell and Wendell were identical twins), my Aunts Elaine and Carol and my Uncle Eldon. My Aunt Sandy is on the tricycle.

I remember this photo was always prominently displayed in my grandparents' front room.

Aunt Sandy supplied me with some of the information. Incidentally, she still has the tricycle and now her grandchildren ride it.
